Switching an existing project to a new VCS loses history or at minimum causes a new layer of "identifiers in the old system don't match the new one", no?
In general, I've found value in figuring out how to improve existing systems where feasible rather than trying to migrate to a new system, since the existing system probably has advantages the new one won't. At minimum, people are already familiar with the existing system.
- BlueTemplar 7y agoOf course - but I'm not sure why you assumed that I would suggest that, instead of using a different VCS for a new project.
- JoshuaDavid 7y agoAh. I've spent a lot more time working on projects I inherited rather than ones where I made the initial technical decisions - if you're starting a new project, you should use the most capable tools available.
